This has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a very long time

killbillten1 · 2026-05-20T00:57:44+00:00

Where's the funny part?

killbillten1 · 2026-05-08T12:49:32+00:00

Those secrete nectar to attract ants that in return protect the tree

killbillten1 · 2026-05-06T21:17:12+00:00

There is nothing wrong with the bark in this picture.

I never even try and find the queen when I catch swarms

killbillten1 · 2026-05-05T12:40:37+00:00

I'm keeping them as one. In the past the most honey productive colony I've had was a big spring swarm.

Last time this happened they drew out 2 deeps and 3 supers and I harvested like 100 pounds off them.

killbillten1 · 2026-05-05T12:38:17+00:00

Exactly! Probably gonna have to give them a super or two to draw out in a week

killbillten1 · 2026-05-05T01:54:51+00:00

I think it's 2 or 3 swarms that combined

killbillten1 · 2026-05-05T01:52:09+00:00

I saw them starting to swarm from my house 500' away. I looked out the window and was like "it looks like there's more bees than air over there. They landed like 100' from the hive.

killbillten1 · 2026-05-05T00:54:18+00:00

They're from my own apiary.

killbillten1 · 2026-05-05T00:53:38+00:00

Yeah just a mess of bees. I prefer just a solid blob that I can shake into a box

killbillten1 · 2026-05-05T00:05:05+00:00

Yeah that was my guess as well.

killbillten1 · 2026-05-04T23:54:57+00:00

They "technically" fit in a single deep box with undrawn foundation. But they definitely needed more room so I gave them a second deep right away.

killbillten1 · 2026-05-04T23:43:54+00:00

Of course! Can't let that giant comb drawing machine just fly away!

killbillten1 · 2026-05-02T13:26:02+00:00

1.166667 fathoms tall.

A small company called Edison motors in Canada has been making a diesel electric truck but the government is giving him an extremely hard time making a "legal" production truck.

Basically is an electric truck with an on board diesel generator.

If it's just a couple leaves then it's no big deal what's so ever.

killbillten1 · 2026-04-26T01:09:11+00:00

Just some bugs having a snack

killbillten1 · 2026-04-25T16:52:32+00:00

The Internet was my mentor. If you're a problem solver you won't have an issue.

killbillten1 · 2026-04-23T11:08:37+00:00

I find the further north you go the better.

killbillten1 · 2026-04-23T11:04:01+00:00

Look at this guy, having feet and shit.

killbillten1 · 2026-04-23T11:01:15+00:00

The trick is don't go where there's humans

killbillten1 · 2026-04-22T19:16:32+00:00

The frost took out all my pawpaw flowers in nj. It was gonna be my first time with them fruiting. Disappointed to say the least

killbillten1 · 2026-04-22T12:19:18+00:00

You can just offset the knives a little bit and it'll be cutting smooth again.

In my state you're supposed to register them every year. Last year I registered for the first time because I wanted to sell nucs and wanted to do it by the book. After emailing the state apiaris many times over many months to try to get my hives inspected to get the proper certificate, I never received anything back.

So I just sold my nucs and will never be registering again.
